You are repulsive.
Thats a bit unfair, yes America does things there own way, not to everyone liking or taste, but they have supported and committed their lives in battle for the UK and lost a lot of men in WW2 supporting the British, so as much as i understand your pain and agree on a lot you say Rebroadcast concerning Europe, that was uncalled for.

There are people with your opinion....
and they are so few that you can't even call them a group.
The rabid radical minority. giving loud inconsequencial voice to their antisocial views.
Meh, those types are everywhere you go...be it someone like you in England, someone in some trailer with a white power sign in Kentucky here, etc.
Step 2 to world unification, we get the xenophobes and morons from all our countries and dump em on a island, then watch the new reality show.

You are part of the cycle of hate, pointing fingers at others and probably thinking the fingers being pointed at you are unjust.

Mori IPSOS state that 48% of people in England are in favour of independence. Hardly "so few you can't even call them a group".

Wasn't discussing people whom want independents from the EU. There are pros and cons with such a decision and it should be made with eyes wide open.
Was more pointing at those whom would consider the US an enemy.
We tend to carpet bomb enemy civilizations until their buildings are rubble..then we bomb the rubble to create sand, then we dig for oil in the sand and call it nation building
I don't think you want to be our enemy.
1776 was the last time you made that mistake.

What tha...
Haven't heard of that before. I don't think its in Englands interest to break from the UK considering they are pretty much the heart and soul of the UK.
Like someone suggesting Washington DC break away from the US
Now, I know that the Scots were grumbling something about that..a minority..and England more or less said, yes..please go.
The only article I was able to produce from this claim is a Sun article saying 48% of Britons wanted to leave the UK..they weren't talking about breaking away the different countries though..they were talking about getting on a airplane and literally leaving for sunny shores
Article Here
Are you confused or did I miss something?
A MORI opinion poll commissioned jointly by the Campaign for an English Parliament under the English Constitutional Convention Banner indicated that support for the creation of an English Parliament with the same powers as the existing Scottish Parliament had risen, with 41% of those questioned favouring such a move. In the same month an ICM Omnibus poll commissioned by the Progressive Partnership (a Scottish research organisation) showed that support for full English Independence had reached 31% of those questioned. In November 2006, another ICM poll commissioned by the Sunday Telegraph, showed that support for an English Parliament had reached 68% and support for full English Independence had reached 48% of those questioned.

Scottish MPs and Welsh MPs are allowed to rule on our matters, but English MPs are not allowed to rule on theirs. We pay the most in taxes and recieve the least in social infrastructure. And yet in your endless wisdom, you feel we are better inside the union?

Seems I am ignorant on this.
Unions must be fair and equal to be viable.
I don't know too much about the complexities of english government. Sounds like the move would quickly reach majority if the demand was for equal representation in line with what the scots and welsh get.
I stand by my views that unified lands makes strong lands...equality is a requirement though...else its not unified in any meaningful way.
Done with this convo though. Going to get some errands done and we are way off topic anyhow, but it was fun going back and forth with you. Its good to disagree with people..ideally it makes both sides a bit more educated, or at least come up with good zingers.
Next thread we find common ground

Barroso's political activity began in his late teens, during the Estado Novo regime in Portugal, before the Carnation Revolution of 25 April 1974. In his college days, he was one of the leaders of the underground Maoist MRPP (Reorganising Movement of the Proletariat Party, later PCTP/MRPP, Communist Party of the Portuguese Workers/Revolutionary Movement of the Portuguese Proletariat). In an interview with the newspaper Expresso, he said that he had joined MRPP to fight the only other student body movement, also underground, which was controlled by the Portuguese Communist Party. Despite this justification there is a very famous political 1976 interview recorded by the Portuguese state-run television channel — RTP, in which Barroso, as a politically minded student during the post-Carnation Revolution turmoil known as PREC, criticises the bourgeois education system which "throws students against workers and workers against students."[3]

Again world peace would be great..but the way you suggest it SaturnFX is creepy. You want to enforce people into unions controled by a minority of people far away from their homeland. Unions created like that is doomed even before they are created. It's polecies like this that create terrorism and violent revolutions.
Little credit and respect is given to the Indians of the North America, but in the questions you pose perhaps they may be of use to answer the questions.
Sometimes, petty squabbles are overruled by goal oriented targets that is greater than any one nation. So, if the EU doesn't work as it stands and you don't see what would possibly fix it, what do you propose in order to get this world eventually unified, working together, and making a concerted effort to expand out...or are you cynical and think we are doomed to extinction due to a inability to ever work and join together?
Because the Algonquian people living on both sides of the Iroquois corridor are of a different culture and linguistic stock, it appears likely that the Iroquois migrated into this area at some time. No evidence has been found to indicate where they came from, however. The Cherokee people, whose historic homeland was in the southeastern United States, belong to the same linguistic group and share some other links with the Iroquois. Where and when they may have lived near each other is unknown. Despite their common culture and language, relations among the Five Tribes deteriorated to a state of near-constant warfare in ancient times. The infighting, in turn, made them vulnerable to attacks from the surrounding Algonquian tribes. This period, known in the Iroquois oral tradition as the "darktimes," reached a nadir during the reign of a psychotic Onondaga chief named Todadaho. Legend has it that he was a cannibal who ate from bowls made from the skulls of his victims, that he knew and saw everything, that his hair contained a tangle of snakes, and that he could kill with only a Medusa-like look. Into this terrible era, however, entered two heroic figures. Deganawidah came from his Huron homeland in the north, travelling unchallenged among the hostile Iroquois. Finally, he encountered a violent, cannibalistic Onondagan. According to legend, Deganawidah watched through a hole in the roof while the man prepared to cook his latest victim. Seeing the stranger's face reflected in the cooking pot, the barbarian assumed it to be his own image. He was struck by the thought that the beauty of the face was incompatible with the horrendous practice of cannibalism and immediately forsook the practice. He went outside to dispose of the corpse, and when he returned to his lodge he met Deganawidah. The foreigner's words of peace and righteousness were so powerful that the man became a loyal disciple and helped spread the message. Deganawidah named his disciple Hiawatha, meaning "he who combs," and sent him to confront Todadaho and remove the snakes from the chief's hair. After enduring terrible hardships at his adversary's hands, and after convincing the other Iroquoian chiefs to accept the Good Message, Hiawatha finally convinced Todadaho as well. On the banks of Onondaga Lake, sometime between 1350 and 1600, Deganawidah established the Iroquois Confederacy, a league of nations that shared a positive code of values and lived in mutual harmony. Out of respect, the Iroquois refer to him as the Peacemaker.
Great Law Of Peace Government Structure The Peacemaker provided through the Great Law of Peace, a complex structure allowing for the separation of powers, checks and balances, ratification, public opinion, and equality of all peoples. As the Onondaga Clan Mother, Audrey Shenandoah, states: Within our society we maintain a balance between the responsibilities of the women, the responsibilities of the men, of the chiefs, of the faithkeepers. All the people in between have a special job to do to help to keep this balance so that at no time do we come to a place within our society where anyone has more power than any of the rest, for our leadership all have equal power. They must be able to listen to one another. Each Nation has its own autonomy to deal with its internal affairs, and there is a Grand Council that deals with problems that may affect all of the nations within the Confederacy.
I would argue that if someone can not keep his back yard organized what chance is there to do it on a global scale. On a global scale it will simply be global robbery as the electronic age has shown us in the area of finance.
get this world eventually unified,
